Package: firmware-iwlwifi Version: 20161130-2 Severity: important Hello Maintainer,
Using a laptop with an intel 8260 wifi chip (HP Zbook 15 G3) and linux kernel 4.8, wifi does not work. This is a known problem; see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/51271 It looks like the answer is that the debian package does not contain the latest fixes. I can fix the problem by following the directions in the website link given above: - copy / move /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-8000C-22.ucode, and the kernel will then use /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-8000C-21.ucode, which works. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.7.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) firmware-iwlwifi depends on no packages. firmware-iwlwifi recommends no packages.
